Our Calling

Our Calling – God wants everyone to be saved; he calls for all of us to come. But he knows we will not all come, he knows not all of us are going to obey, and not all of us are going to remain faithful to the end. Some he calls to be leaders, and others to be a guide. Some he calls to boldly speak his Word, and some he calls to show the power of his Spirit.  There are many ways in which the Lord decides to call each one of us. We have a purpose in the Lord, but we don’t all have the same calling. For it is the Lord who calls us to do his will and for his purpose, and not our own. This is key to understanding God’s Calling on a person’s life.   God’s calling is not something we can makeup, it’s not something we can choose. The Lord calls us to take part in his plan, to bring him glory, and help save his people. It’s a calling that changes our direction and tests our beliefs. It’s a calling that will test our faith and obedience to God.  When God calls, the question is will we answer? Are we willing to allow the Lord to lead and guide us into his will and ways, even if it causes us to suffer, or experience loss?  If we are faithful to our calling, the Lord will do some amazing things through us, and many will be touched by what God does through us.  We were created for God’s purpose.
